1. **[Data-Driven Parsing using Probabilistic Linear Context-Free Rewriting Systems](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/kallmeyer-2013-data-driven-parsing-probabilistic-linear/)** *(2013 · 83 citations)* Some constituency treebanks, notably the German NeGra and TIGER, annotate discontinuous constituents with crossing branches.
2. **[An Arabic-Moroccan Darija Code-Switched Corpus](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/samih-2016-arabic-moroccan-darija-code-switched/)** *(2016 · 43 citations)* Moroccan Darija is a widely spoken Arabic dialect with very few computational resources. Online, its speakers often mix it with Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and other languages. The authors build a token-level code-switching corpus to support language identification for this setting. They crawled Moroccan blogs and…
3. **[Annotating Coordination in the Penn Treebank](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/maier-2012-annotating-coordination-penn-treebank/)** *(2012 · 18 citations)* Coordination matters for many NLP tasks, but large treebanks such as the Penn Treebank do not mark it explicitly: coordinated phrases carry ordinary labels and a comma between conjuncts has the same tag as any other comma, so conjunction-less coordination is nearly invisible.
4. **[GHHT at CALCS 2018: Named Entity Recognition for Dialectal Arabic Using Neural Networks](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/attia-2018-ghht-calcs-2018-named-entity/)** *(2018 · 15 citations)* The paper describes the GHHT team's entry to the CALCS 2018 shared task, which asked for named entity recognition on tweets that mix Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and Egyptian Arabic (EGY).
